Maldives

 

The Maldives consists of chain of islands that are grouped into ring-shaped reefs, or atolls, with swaying palms, pristine sandy beaches and crystal blue waters. With channels, caves, caverns and overhangs offering some great diving, it is the abundance of fish life that attracts many divers. Due to its channels and passages between the atolls and islands, currents sweep through and nutrients are always on the move creating a feeding frenzy at many sites. The cleaning stations are home to the cleaning wrasses and shrimps that form a symbiotic relationship with many of the larger marine species.
